MOO, BAA & OINK BOOTHS

THE MOO BOOTH

Our award-winning Moo Booth swings open the barn doors (literally!) for a cow-to-kitchen showcase of dairy and cattle farming - a fascinating mix of science, technology expertise and hard work.

Plus, meander through a-moo-sing displays and learn about:

How the cattle industry contributes to the health and economic, social and environmental well-being of our society

Visit the Moo Booth in the northwest corner of the Cattle Barn off Judson Avenue, I31 on the State Fair map.

25 years at the State Fair

The Moo Booth was created in 1991 to highlight the farm-to-table process of the dairy and beef industries with a particular focus on animals, farming and production. Through fun activities and captivating demonstrations, the Moo Booth is a vital extension of the fair's agricultural mission.

The displays, competitions, demonstrations and product samples are made possible through the generous support of industry organizations, farming cooperatives and companies. We also rely on dozens of volunteers. For more information about how to support the Moo Booth or to volunteer, email education@mnstatefair.org or call (651) 288-4480.

THE BAA BOOTH

In the spirit of the Moo Booth, this educational exhibit features sheep displays and hands-on activities. The Baa Booth is open the first eight days of the fair (Aug. 25 - Sept. 1, 2016) and is located inside the Sheep Barn at the south end off Judson Avenue, L29 on the State Fair map.
